7 How to play the game How to play the game The object of the game is to reach the Game Goal before your opponent. HOW TO START: - A coin toss decides who starts the game. The winner of the coin toss also decides if the game will start from the left or the right. - The first weight (Blue) is slid from the front of the table towards the back, so that it bounces from the back bumper onto the other side of the playing surface. - The opponent then slides his/her weight (Red) so that it bounces from the back bumper to try to bump off the blue weight or to place his/her weight beyond the Blue. -The players continue to take turns until all the 8 weights are played. - At this point, the players determine which team scores and add the score from this round to the game score. - The game then continues from the other side, with the player who scored last starting the play in the next round. - Play continues by alternating sides until the total game score of one of the opponents reaches or exceeds the Game Goal. 4 -

8 How to play the game SCORING OF POINTS: Snap-Back Shuffleboard is normally played to a Game Goal of 15 points or 21 points, depending upon mutual consent of the contestants. - When a weight comes to rest on a scoring (Black) line, that weight scores the smaller number. The weight must clear the first line completely to score. - If a weight comes to rest before entering the scoring surface area, it must be removed from the playing surface before the opponent plays the next weight. - If a weight is overhanging the front of the playing surface (4 points area), that weight has a score of 5 points. - Only one player can score points in a round. - Point total for a round is the sum of the points for each weight that is closer to the front end of the playing surface than any of the opponent s weights. Example A: If, after throwing all 8 weights, there is a Blue weight and a Red weight in the 4 point section, but the Red weight is ahead of the Blue, only the Red scores points. Example B: If there are 2 Blue weights ahead of the Red weights, the 2 Blue weights score points, and the Red weights do not score. 5 -

9 STRATEGY: How to play the game An effective strategy would be to slide your weights into scoring position, then to shield those weights from your opponent by using later turns to block them from being knocked out of scoring position. 6 -
